Capturing leadership experience of women in education has gained researchers' attention in the recent past. I am involved in a study to capture women head teachers' experience of their role.
I would recommend reading the following article which can be found through Google Scholar:
- Cubillo, L. and Brown, M. (2003), "Women into educational leadership and management: international differences?", Journal of Educational Administration, Vol. 41 No. 3, pp. 278-291
Hi Haji,
What do you mean by "areas" in the context of women leadership in education?
You have to define what you mean about leadership. What do you want to concentrate on:
- vision: being able to predict the future of an an organization
- formulating mission: what is the organization about
- strategy: where do we want to go, what are the goals
- planning
- leading
- organizing
- controlling
The areas may include the women head teachers' experience of getting into the leadership positions (lived experiences or narratives), socialization into the leadership, significance others, lived experience of running schools in a rural patriarchal society, exercising the leadership practices (at both strategic level and day-to-day administration) etc etc. suggestions required......!
I would look at how she perceives the way her environment reacts to her. How does she get along. I would see if her view of her leadership style overlaps with how other see her. Maybe see how locus of control fits in these leadership experiences.

To study women leadership experiences in education, there are many areas of focus. For instance, you can explore teachers’ acceptance of making and implementing decisions made by female principals. Moreover, the study may discover the influence of principal’s gender on the organizational behavior.
Check this project, it may help you.

A comparative study perhaps of different cultural contexts...related to covert gender discrimination. Is it an illusion or a fact? For instance in Nigeria, there are fewer than 10 female University Vice-Chancellors in our 170 universities.
